a 2005 harley electra glide classic? looking to trade the bike in for a truck. the kelly blue book and NADA says about 10k. what do you think realisticly i can get for it in todays market? see sig pic for bike

 

Half way between trade in value and suggested retail.

 

Need more info about the bike.

From what vie seen, if your trading to an auto dealer they typically have pretty decent prices because they get them low and sell them some what fair to move them.

 

In my experiance, KBB is pretty accurate to what you can expect for trade in. NADA is usally to high because of the method they use to calculate wholesale.

That is the best starting point for your negotiations. Remember, with a trade in, the only thing that matters is the difference between the two. Negotiate the difference, not the price of your trade or the price they show selling you the new bike for. You are going to deal retail to retail or wholesale to wholesale.

 

Trade in is about $8500 , if you trade for another Harley. At a car dealer they will "shop" your bike to someone who will buy the bike from them before they will make a deal with you and they will give you $500 less then what they are offered. I say you will get about $7500 at a car dealership, which is 10k less then new retail price.
Wait and sell the bike yourself , you can get the 10K and then go buy your truck.
Good Luck

 

10k is the trade in value per the 2. i am would be happy with 8k. do a lot of dealers take a harley as a trade? i want to do an even swap, (tax tag title) no money exchange, dont have any to give.
